Virginity:
It is the state of a woman who has no experience of sexual intercourse.
Defloration:
means loss of virginity. Defloration is the condition of a female who has had previous
sexual intercourse.
Virgo-intact or virgin is a woman who has not
experienced sexual intercourse.
Signs
of virginity:
- Extra genital-breast sign- and
- Genital sign
Breast
sign:
- Small breast
- Hemispherical
- Elastic, firm and rounded
- Small underdeveloped nipple
- Pink to dark areola around the nipple depending upon the subjects own natural colour.
Genital
signs:
- Labia majora: Pink in colour. Firm rounded and lies in close apposition, so as to completely cover the vaginal orifice. Even on abduction of the legs, the vaginal orifice remains completely close.
- Labia minora: Two thin cutaneous folds, pink in colour, soft and smell.
- Forchette and posterior commissure: remain intact and cresentic shaped.
- Clitoris: Is small and vestibule is narrow.
- Hymen: Hymen is usually intact, firm, and inelastic with a central opening which admits only tip of little finger with difficulty.
- Vaginal orifice: Slit like orifice which admits tip of little finger with difficulty.
- Cervix: Forms almost a right angle with vagina, if uterus and rectum are in normal condition.
Principal
sign of virginity:
- An intact hymen
- A normal condition of the fourchette and posterior commissure and
- A narrow vagina with rugose walls
Diagnosis of
virginity:
(Definite
sign of defloration)
1. If labia majora are flabby and not in apposition and gape on abduction of thigh.
2. Labia minora are cutaneous in appearance and not covered by labia majora
3. Vagina roomy and admits more than two fingers.
4. The fourchette is torn
5. Clitoris is enlarged
6. Rupture of the hymen.
In such condition, it is highly probable that the woman is not a true virgin. Defloration without rupture of the hymen is not the rule, and at first coitus the hymen is torn in the majority cases.
